Cathie Black out as NYC chancellor

The NYT reports that Cathie Black is out as chancellor of New York City’s public schools. The former Hearst Magazines exec’s brief tenure was marked by protests from groups that criticized her lack of education experience, and plummeting poll numbers.

The Observer’s Aza Paybarah just tweeted that the news was met by a standing ovation at a panel discussion held by Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.
